    "title": "The Effect of Spatial Representations on Discounting Rates",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Prior research suggests that discounting rates– how much interest a person requests for waiting a period of time\nbefore collecting benefits– are influenced by perceptions of time. Other research, however, suggests people understand time via\nspatial representations. Thus, the current research examined whether underlying spatial representations of time influence these\nrates. Interest rate preferences were assessed twice over a semester from forty students in either art or cognition courses after\ndrawing a picture with perspective or no perspective. Results revealed that drawing pictures without perspective led to higher\naverage interest rates than drawing pictures with perspective. Additionally, there was an interaction of session and course;\ncognitive students’ rates increased substantially over time, while art students (i.e., students with practiced spatial representations)\ndid not show this effect. These results are a preliminary step in suggesting that spatial priming can affect temporal\nrepresentations, which in turn change discounting rates.",
